Ok Ivan, as long as you're online... ;-) 2400 is working great via RR broadband, ethernet via Linksys router and MacAlly PC card. I decide to give it a vacation and take it to Hawaii. No network activity while on the road. Hook everything back up when I get home and now it just drops the TCP/IP connection after maybe 10-30 minutes. TCP/IP still shows the current IP and Subnet address, but just no activity. I can't even get the browser to see the router to troubleshoot that piece. A restart clears all the problems until it idles out again. Thoughts...anyone?
